Selenium xPath: Invalid selector -- When passing multiple condition for the same element

This error message...

org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression //span[@class='title-subGrid-lite-TextAutoEllipsis’][text()[contains(.,'My Emails')]

...implies that the XPath which you have used was not a valid one.

The xpath expression you have used as follows have a couple of issues:

//span[@class='title-subGrid-lite-TextAutoEllipsis’][text()[contains(.,'My Emails')]

• The class attribute needs to be properly placed in-between single quotes i.e. '...'.
• The text attribute needs to be properly placed in-between [...]

The simple XPath expression which must have catered to your requirement is:

//span[@class='title-subGrid-lite-TextAutoEllipsis'][contains(.,'My Emails')]

As an alternative you can also try:

//span[@class='title-subGrid-lite-TextAutoEllipsis' and contains(.,'My Emails')]

Perhaps you must be looking for:

//span[@class='title-subGrid-lite-TextAutoEllipsis'][normalize-space()='My Emails']
